I am going out today. I am going to meet a friend and spend the day with them catching up - I haven't seen him in over a year. He lives over 4 hours away, which since I don't drive makes life a little hard. We are going to meet half way and spend the day quietly on a picnic rug at a park.

I know this outing is going to wear me out and exhausted me - I will probably spend the next couple of days in bed to recover. (I will try to post anyway - yay for laptops that allow us to access the net from bed!) I need to do this for me - I have been so lonely lately, and felt that I haven't even been living. This will at least be something in that I can feel I am living life even a little bit.

I am really excited to see Ian! He is such a great friend, it will be awesome to catch up - and even better to get a much needed hug. I can be at ease with Ian, he knows about the DID and has even spent time with some of my alts. It doesn't bother him and he always willing to take time out to talk to any of us.

Aaron is also been kind enough to offer to drive us which makes life easier - the idea of the bus & then train to get there was very daunting while I am so tired. It will be great to have those few hours each way in the car to catch up & just chat.

I need to go, but I wanted to get this posted as I will be too tired to get it done when I get home. So I am going to leave you with a song I love.

My taste in music is very varied - and I feel music is a huge part of my healing journey. I listen and sing along to music to help express myself, to help me get into a different mind set. To ease my little ones when we are having a bad day. It is such an important part of who I am, and my everyday life which is why I wish to share it with you on occasions.

Today's song is "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz

I love this song, just the feeling of it -its a good song to sum out how I feel about going out today (not the lyrics, just the feel of the song). I particularly love the lyrics:

Welcome

As a survivor of child sexual abuse and a person living with DID I have a lot to heal from. This blog is about my healing journey in relation to my everyday life. If you would like to know more about this blog please check out About Multiplicity.

Please have a look around, and feel free to comment and ask questions. I do read and appreciate all comments and try to respond either in the comments section or posts.

Expressive Arts Carnival

Each month Paul, a friend and the creator of the carnival, posts an activity in which survivors of abuse can participate and submit. At the end of each month Paul then posts each of the pieces of artwork in the carnival.

In his words; "The purpose of these activities is not to provide therapy. Instead, the goal is to build a healing community where people can submit what they have done related to a monthly theme."

Everyone is given full credit, either under a pseudo-name or their real name as the artist chooses. If the artist desires, a link to their blog is attached to their artwork. Overall, I think this is an amazing project and I really encourage everyone to check it out and for those who wish, I hope you participate.
